Chapter 132, Second Update: This is a pure melody without lyrics...
This is a pure melody song without lyrics. Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow, searched online, and found that none of the songs in the world have lyrics.
She frowned slightly, her wingtip rubbing her chin. After thinking for a while, she remembered that when she wrote this book, she had simply set up the orc world without lyrics to avoid being lazy.
Furthermore, to enhance the overall enjoyment of the book, she set up the original owner to become the first person in the world to write a song with lyrics. The first song was a sweet little tune dedicated to her lover, and it was through this that the original owner was able to obtain a ticket to the royal banquet.
Sang Zhitao looked at the sheet music on the screen, feeling a bit of a headache: "Damn it, I forgot to learn how to read sheet music back at the base."
I sighed helplessly and quickly searched for "How to Understand the Staff Notation (Elementary Version for Preschoolers)" on the website.
Whether it was her innate talent or the original owner's talent, she didn't find this tutorial particularly difficult. In fact, in just a short hour or two, she was already able to advance to learning "Understanding the Staff Notation (Elementary School Edition)".
After studying Sang Zhitao all afternoon, I was finally able to sing the sheet music given by An Ke in a simple way.
Having achieved her goal, she finally had the mind to think about other things.
"In the original book, the original owner wanted to give her lover a special gift after falling in love, which is why she wrote a song with lyrics." Sang Zhitao slumped on the ground, her two thin claws outstretched, her wings spread out on both sides, and various thoughts flashed in DouDou's eyes.
"If I sing it now, wouldn't I become famous sooner? Maybe then I could try to enter the palace earlier?"
She muttered to herself for a while, then turned to look at the computer. After a long pause, she turned over and plugged in a language converter: "Anke, what do you think about adding lyrics to the melody?"
Anke's phone kept showing "typing in progress," but it wasn't until more than ten minutes later that she finally sent a "?".
Sang Zhitao didn't plan to explain it to him via voice, since only by experiencing it firsthand could one truly appreciate the charm of a song with lyrics.
After thinking for a moment, she opened the recording software, coughed twice, and began to sing: "You ask me how deep my love for you is..."
"The Moon Represents My Heart" is a straightforward and classic love song, and Sang Zhitao believes that this song is enough to touch the hearts of beastmen who have never seen a song with lyrics before.
As she expected, less than five minutes after sending the song, Encore sent her more than a dozen messages.
Sang Zhitao glanced at it briefly and saw that the screen was full of exclamation marks indicating praise and question marks indicating doubt.
Before Sang Zhitao could reply, An Ke sent her a short essay of about 100 words.
Ignoring the words of praise, he looked at An Ke's few valuable words: "What were you thinking? How did you write it so well?! Can you write the piece I gave you?! When can you finish it?!"
Sang Zhitao took out the sheet music that An Ke had given her, tried singing a few lines, and then replied to An Ke: "I didn't write it. I can sing some songs with lyrics, but I can't write lyrics, and I can't write them."
"Who is it?! Which big shot?! Do you have their contact information?" Anke's message followed immediately.
"You might find out later that we don't have a way to contact each other," Sang Zhitao sighed and replied.
"How many songs do you have? Do they cover all styles?" Anke continued to press.
Sang Zhitao thought for a moment before typing back, "I know about a hundred poems, basically covering all styles."
Anke didn't reply for a long time.
Sang Zhitao didn't pay any attention. She patted her stomach, flew off the table, ate a delicious mixed grain meal, drank some water, and then flew back onto the table to continue reading the course.
It wasn't until the next day that Anke sent a message: "Can you release another song in a different style?"
Sang Zhitao thought for a moment and then sang a song called "Childhood".
Anke's reply wasn't very quick this time, and her concern was evident in her message: "What's the meaning behind the lyrics for this song? Are your other songs like this too?"
Sang Zhitao then realized that every world and even every country has its own culture. Songs born from such a cultural environment inherently carry the characteristics of that region, and perhaps only those who were born and raised here can understand its beauty.
It's like how traditional Chinese style songs are only suitable for the East.
People from different countries around the world can understand each other because we were born on the same planet. Even so, they still need simple translations when listening to songs from the East.
If she wants to establish herself here using Earth's songs, she must ensure that the beastmen here can understand the lyrics.
As she had guessed, Anke sent several messages: "I still hope that you won't rewrite the lyrics. Some of these lyrics are difficult for us to understand."
Sang Zhitao sighed silently, stepping on the converter with some worry. She longed to write her own lyrics, but she couldn't even read all the musical notation. She didn't know when she would learn to write lyrics.
She also considered using ancient poems as lyrics, just like on Earth, and rearranging them into new melodies.
But just as the songs in the Orc world have no lyrics and the novels are extremely simple and crude, there are no ancient poems here that can be called popular.
“I don’t know how to write lyrics, so let me think of something,” Sang Zhitao replied to An Ke after thinking for a moment.
Anke didn't seem surprised by her answer and replied directly, "I hope to launch you as soon as possible. Who knows how long it will take if we wait until you learn to write lyrics? Why don't you try singing the songs I send you first?"
Sang Zhitao, however, was thinking about another issue. She originally wanted to skip the original owner's long experience and let the song with lyrics be bound to her earlier.
Since that's the case, why not use this as a gimmick from the very beginning? That way, we can attract more attention and become famous sooner.
After briefly informing Anke of her idea, Sang Zhitao stopped checking her messages and instead opened a novel website.
The first novel I uploaded already has more than a dozen readers, all of whom are actively urging me to update.
"Wow, the author writes so well~" — Marrying a panda is my dream.
"I've never seen writing done like this before." — A female eagle in the sky.
"How will Yueyue get out of the slave camp? It's so pitiful! That man named Minglang is so wicked!" — My wife is named Xingxing.
...
She wrote a tragic novel with a touch of ancient Chinese style. It tells the story of Princess Yue of a small country who, while fleeing after her country's destruction, is betrayed by her own people and sent to a slave camp. She then gradually escapes the slave camp through wisdom and perseverance, becoming a female merchant, a female official, and finally overthrowing the enemy country and successfully restoring her nation.
The first three chapters are set at a very fast pace. In just over 10,000 words, the story tells of the heroine's happy childhood, the despair of her country's destruction, the grief of her parents dying in front of her, the hardships of her escape, the unbelievable betrayal by her own people, and finally, her life of numbness in the slave camp, where she is heartbroken and despondent.
The final paragraph ends with the female protagonist meeting a young man named Minglang from her homeland in a slave camp.
However, this young man is actually a complete villain, which she is unaware of, and the place where she plans to hand over the princess's token to him is quite suspenseful.
After spending an hour or two uploading 15,000 words for the day, Sang Zhitao opened her notebook and recalled songs from her memory.
She came up with an idea: she could first use novels to build her fame, and then link her identity as a singer with that of a writer, with each novel accompanied by one or more songs.
She believes that with this synergy, the songs will be more easily accepted by the public, and such novels can also stimulate the growth of orc world novels, and allow her to sing more songs of different styles.
Sang Zhitao turned on the recording equipment and sang the first song accompanying this novel, "Where is the End of the World": "Where is the god? Drunk for a lifetime, a dream..."
She then recorded her second song, "The Return of the Soul": "On the roll call, your names are all there, without a single one missing..."
She first sent the two songs to Encore, and then shared her thoughts with him.
After listening to the song and reading the novel, Anke replied, "No problem, let's do it this way. You post it on your homepage first, and then we can interact with each other."
After seeing her reply, Sang Zhitao uploaded it directly to the original singer's homepage and added a link to the novel.
The original owner had sung seven or eight songs and accumulated several thousand fans. Seeing that he uploaded two songs at once this time, they were quite excited.
However, after listening to the song, a few people sent questions.
"Singing with lyrics? I'm not used to it..." — I'm asking you, are you convinced or not?
"It sounds nice even with the lyrics, but I didn't understand the words." — Have you finished your homework?
"But it sounds so sad..." — I really want a vacation.
"You guys go read the novel!!! The song is so fitting!!" — Milk needs ice.
...
As more and more people clicked on the link and fell into the novel's deep pit, those in the novel's world finally discovered the original owner's singer account.
"My favorite singer, Shadow, and my favorite author, Cat, have interacted!!" — Marrying a panda is my dream.
This was the first time the Orc World had heard such a song, and the first time it had seen such a fast-paced and dramatic novel. In no time, everyone was calling out to each other, and the internet was buzzing with excitement.
In the orc capital, in a mansion, a white wolf was frantically outputting data to a screen using a converter, while two songs uploaded by Sang Zhi Tao played on a loop in his ears.
"Come and read this novel! It's incredibly well-written!" — The cutest white wolf cub.
"Really? Last time you said it was a masterpiece, but it's just the same old story." — I just want to be a bird.
"Believe me, this one is absolutely different! And your favorite singer, Shadow, sang two songs for her!" — The cutest white wolf cub.
"Really?!" — I just want to be a bird.
I just want to be a bird. She is the little princess of the giant eagle clan. She loves to raise some young authors or singers, hoping that they can become famous. Shadow is one of the young singers she decided to raise a few days ago.
At this moment, she was eating specially made eagle feed and drinking a special beverage, lying on the shelf with the converter hanging on her face, looking on with curiosity.
"I'm sure, I'd never lie to you! I'd be a dog if I did!" the adorable white wolf cub swore repeatedly.
Seeing him making vows and promises, I just wanted to be a bird and open the webpage to see what kind of novel the white wolf cub was so enthusiastic about.
